Here's my photos from Sunday. I cosplayed as Zerina, from Tinkerbell and the Pirate fairy. Jack was such a lovely person..he was convinced that he had seen/met me before, this was my first time meeting him. Zerina, the pirate fairy takes the Iron throne.

He was brilliant just brilliant :)

I don't know if this helps at all, but the photographer told me last night he keeps a copy of every single photo from all the cons he takes pics at, so if you don't find ur bag (which i hope u do) maybe you can speak to SM/ME about getting another copy of the pics...not sure if this would happen tho. just a thought. hope u find it. xx I don't think we are getting the stuff back think I might have to look into that. Thank you I hope you do find it *fingers crossed* Xx

Going to see how many holidays I have left at work and then see how much money I have left (I want to buy a Hunger games con ticket too) and then I may get a ticket for ET7. I always have soo much at the ETs. :)

I would love to go a harry potter con, :)

I think I will get christmas pressies for the family out of the way and then get a ticket for this. :) Can't wait. :)

Same here, I will be also relaxing by the pool. :)

Authors. Yay! loved them in ET4.

Just got my ticket, a birthday pressie to myself. *dances*, put the time in off work too. I can't wait. :) Hopefully we'll have some wolfpack guests. :)

Gil was brilliant..so nice.

Deeerrrum... love_tay or something? she was incredibly nice. I love cosplayers, my best friend does it herself, I did it a lot when I was little-- I had a pink powerranger suit and I never took it off and I won a contest once for being pocahontas hehe--, there was an amazing Jane at the convention, I almost thought she was Dakota Fanning. I got some nice outfits for the parties but didn't wear either of them xD Mostly because it was too cold and also because well.. confidence, yay . I'm trying to loose weight before the next one I come to >_>; maybe that will help confidence issues somewhat but lol. I was tempted to go to the torchwood one, but I'm cleaned out from this one xD so as I previously said, would probably have to be et6, unless there's a certain guest at et5... then I'm selling my soul I was speaking to her on twitter too, she was lovely, never got a chance to meet her. It was my first time Cos-playing for twilight (I used to cos play as Hermione) I was the 'wolf bride' at the first party.

It was my first con or anything like it, and I came alone because no one I know likes twilight. My best friend tollerates it and my squeeing because she's amazing, but I can't fly her from america, pay for a ticket for her.. I couldnt' expect her to go cause she'd hate it too. I know she woudl come if I paid for it for her but.. that's not the point... she doesn't expect me to sit through something I hate for her-- even though I would, so I don't expect her to do it for me. She's amazing for being so tollerant with my whole day of going on about the good things from the convention, but i swear she's at breaking point ut I have some pretty awful social problems, a stutter, social anxiety and bipolar (at the weekend I was trucking on through a low when I wanted to stay in bed so that didn't help), and things were very busy so my claustrophobia did play up quite a bit. I managed to speak to a LOAD of people without my stutter, and I felt very very very happy and proud of myself for doing it. I stutter when I talk to my doctor and I've known her for five years, lol. But, even after I spoke to them-- and all I really did was say hi and introduce myself-- they pretty much ignored me. I went to an hour at each of the parties, attempted to speak to people but was also ignored there. I don't have much confidence anyway but I came away with even less. I know I didn't speak to everyone since there was just too many people there, but I gave up after the.. 7th or so group I spoke to after getting the same reaction. A lot of the gold members were kind of rude to me too? I asked one for directions for the autograph place since I h ad NO CLUE where anything was, and she pretty much sneered at me 'over there, standard.' I actually laughed at that one tbh. Honestly, like two people spoke to me the entire weekend, one of them was over twitter, and the other was a 'b' so I really didn't get to spend much time with her. I felt like I was intruding on everyone else, and the people I managed to speak to made me feel pretty unwelcome I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I'm in no way going to be the first, or the last but maybe if I say something, something could perhaps be done to... aid others. Like I said, I know SM can't do anything about peoples personalities/attitudes, but there has to be something that can be done for people who perhaps are alone, or going to their first one, or are just maybe shy or unconfident... maybe just to meet others in their groups so they DO have someone to be with. Also I got knocked down about... 4 times by a group of french girls pushing to get their photos >.<, I have a blimp for a foot haha, not th e worst thing I've done to it but that was pretty rude >_< I'm awful at making friends, I have like... three, two of which are boys who... wel... no offence guys but sometimes you're not the most... emotionally in-tune of humans . In fact before I came to this forum, I didn't even know men liked twilight lol, I'm so used to them going "LOL SPARKLE" and then followed by an hour of jokes : | annnnd I wallotext'd again, sigh. I hope this hasn't put you off coming to another SM/ME show. I had one rude person, who said 'what the **** is that' when I was wearing my Cos-play outfit, which did kinda of want me to to go back to my room and get changed, but it would have meant that person would have won. Some people sadly are just down right rude. Do you know the name of the person you were twittering with?

I too find the noise level frustrating when getting called for photoshoots, I was standing in the wrong que at one point, asked the person in front of me who just shurgged their shoulders at me, so had to ask the person in front of them.

Just looking at your flickr photos, you got a pic from when Julie had the ladybug on her. :) that was a cute moment.

No, they were leaning over the table pointing at photos with the hands that held the cups.
